Accident.

Accident.
This morning as the passenger
train from Kansas City, that Il due
here AZ 6:s2, entered Lawrence, the
train was thrown from the track by
an open switch, and badly wrecked
At thIs writing very meagre details
can be had. By telegraph we learn
that the engineer and fireman were
both killed outright, and that the
head breakman is seriously injured
and will probably die. A train
from the east is expected about 2
o'clock, from which we expect to
learn the full particulars.
LATER.
The passenger train arrived about
noon, aud from a reliable source We
learn that the delay was caused by q
freight train running into an open
switch. The engine and sixteen
freight cars were wrecked. En-
gineer MOnden, and fireman Chase
were killed outright, and the head
breskman, G. w. Brown, who was
on the engine at the time, has since
died from injuries received.

Some two weeks ago an emplOye
on the cutoff road, by the name Of
Thomas Davidson, and known - =
bully OF the worse type, caught a
Russian living hear Bridgeport aRd
pounded him so severely that he has
since died. II II had not been for the
interference Of two Swedish gentle
men who happened along at the time
OF the fraeas, the Russian would un-
dOubtediy have been killed at that
time. County Attorney Moore
heard Of the case, aud hsd Davidson
arrested, and q preliminary exami-
inatiOn was had before Alex Me
Phail Of Bridgeport, aud he Was
bound over until the next term Of
court, the bail being fixed at $1,000.
He has been held at Bridgeport some
time, waiting 10 secure the required
bail, but thus far had not succeeded.
This morning Sheriff Bartlett re-
eeived n telegram from McPhail,
stating that Davidson had escaped
early this morning, going east. IL II
10 be- hoped that lac will soon be
caught, a. the killing Of this Rus
sian was n ease Of pure brutishness,
entirely void Of any just cause of at
tack. The LindsbOrg Ne,rs gives
the following account Of the fight:
II seems that man by the name
Of Tom Davidson, n ''dump boss"
for Al. Carson. had some difficulty
with n man doing the cooking there.
IL Is claimed that q young man, who
was Russian, aud whose name WIS
Henry, and something more winch
nobody seems To know, had said
that MIR. Davidson was making a
disreputable place out of a tent i'm
the camp. Enraged over the yOIng
mans talk, Mr.. Davidson assaulted
him, threw him down and kicked
him in the left side about the ribs
and in the face, injuring him inter-
nally and bruising his face badly.
Mr.. Al. Carson interfering left a
chance for the boy to escape and
take refuge in a tent near Swan
Rundberg's residence, which place he
reached with much difficulty. He
had not been there more than half
an hour, when Mfr. Davidson, in
company with two other men, came
looking for him. Seeing the boy on
IA sofa in the tent he picked ups rock
aud hurled il at him, and would
have struck him IL he had not made
a quick dodge. BY this time a broth
er TO Rundberg came up and interIer-
ed. As he took hold OF Mr.. David
son the latter made a motion as IL To
strike ut him, but an emplOye, Mr..
MaguussOn. threatened TO pound |
him with n si1gle-tree, which he !
held i'm his hand, and thus succeed
ed in Keeping him quiet.
